Story

To deliver basic humanitarian items like food, water and shelter to refugees who arrive in Lesvos in Greece.

Over 181,000 refugees have arrived by sea in Greece this year, most to Lesvos. 66% come from Syria. Greece is in crisis and cannot cope with managing the situation. There is very limited presence of international NGOs and the backbone of the humanitarian response has come from grassroots voluntary groups. Let's support them to provide clean water, food & shelter for the refugees.

THANK YOU!! Your support has been incredible. The volunteer organisations here are working flat out, delivering basic needs to the refugees who arrive. This financial support enables us to support them to do their job better. I have already started dispatching water & materials for shelter and will continue to work with them to get them what they need. Refugees, volunteers and myself are incredibly grateful for your donations. Despite this being a very difficult situation, these acts of solidarity and kindness are what makes things easier and give us all hope. So, thank you. I will update on twitter via @tsanga10. If this page stays active, I will also update here. With love & thanks, Natasha

Hi everyone - just to say a huge thank you to everyone who has donated, especially to the anonymous people who I haven't been able to thank directly. The situation is dire but your solidarity and generosity amazes me. The more we exceed the target, the greater reach we have. xx

Do you know anyone in need or maybe want to help a local community cause?

About the fundraiser

Natasha Tsangarides

Lesvos, Greece

Hi, I’m Natasha. I’ve worked for refugee organisations in the UK and overseas for the past 9 years. I’m now living in Greece and am heartbroken to see that refugees who have escaped war arrive in Europe and do not even have their basic human rights met.
